hi /g/ents, I have a fresh install of Arch Linux. I haven't

The "official" /g/ WM is i3, or i3-gaps if you want to be even more autistic

>>57617443
openbox

>>57617443
If you want it to just werk and look decent install KDE/gnome. If you want to customize shit openbox/i3.

>>57617468
Having no gaps is the more autistic choice.

>>57617443
Xmonad always seemed to me like it should be the perfect twm for /g/, since it's a lot like i3 but with the added hipsterness of Haskell, the best programming language no one uses. Not sure why it isn't shilled more on here.

>>57617876
Yeah, because utilizing all available screen space is a lot more autistic than having gaps for no reason other than muh aesthetics.

>>57617894
You're their only paid shill, that's why.

thanks folks, I'm going to install i3 as my window manager, and see how that works out. It looks nice.

thanks again

>>57617939
Caring about aesthetics is less autistic.

i3 is best
also get i3 blocks

>>57620576
>i3 blocks
What's that?

This looks like a good window manager, I've been using ratpoison which seems very similar.

Does i3 have good keybindings for navigation without a mouse?

>Does i3 have good keybindings for navigation without a mouse?
Oh yes. I use my mouse only for firefox.

>>57620616
the keybindings in i3 is pretty comfy, but make sure which one between i3 or i3-gaps you want.

How is it compared to i3status?

Have you considered using the plugin that lets you navigate firefox using vim commands? It's called vimperator, and it changed my life.

i3 keybinds + mechanicalkeyboard = maximum comfy

>>57620749
Maybe one day I will. But I'm a emcas guy, vim is only for penitence.

>>57620692
I don't really know, maybe more customization?
I basically just installed it some year ago and had some fun writing my own blocks

Hello OP. I'm also installing Arch

>>57620837
Why not use cmd line?

I see, have you tried out the emacs plugin for firefox? I think it's called firemacs.

>>57621066
OK I will try it soon. But if I do that my mouse will be used only for gimp.

what is this and why aren't you doing it the arch way?

It's called Arch Anywhere, it's basically an installer. I've installed arch so many time, I was tired of doing every thing by cmd line so this makes it less of a hassle.

>actually wasting your time fixing your package manager

>>57621286
I am a long time Gentoo user, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I believe that as hardware gets faster, it makes sense to migrate to a largely source-based Linux system. Binary packages encourage inconsistency and incompatibility, whearas source encourages unified development frameworks and integration.

>>57621292
Cool, although I only installed arch once, so I don't need this.

>>57617443
kde if you like Qt widgets (recommended)
gnome if you like gtk
xfce if your have shitty machine

>>57621323
nice meme

>>57621371
It's still dependency hell though. Even more so, since you have build time dependencies and some devs are liberal fucktards that need fucking ruby as a build time requirement. Fucking WebKit.
